80s metal website ?

As a lot of you know I wanna make a website with your help dedicated to 80s heavy metal.I have seen 1 and it was weak. Anyway I just purchesed the domain name "80smetalmania.com"

My question....what would you like to see on the site as far as content ?

What would make it stand out ?

Update:

Hey Glamorize...I saw which name would generate the most hits in a search engine and this one pulled the most...I'm sorry =(

I was leaning toward 80S Mayhem but that didnt pull that many hits

Update 2:

Nightlife- Your hired

Update 3:

Dudeman- How do you feel about doing the "underrated 80s band page?"

Update 4:

Nancy- You know youre in =)

    Looks like your website idea didn't pull through. I just recently saw your question (even though your question is six years old) and I was really interested in viewing your so-called "80's metal" website. So, I typed in the address (www.80smetalmania.com) and nothing. The website doesn't exist, all that came up was a search engine page from my cable company and whenever I type in a web address that has an invalid domain (one that doesn't exist or is linked to a website) that shows up.

    You said you purchased that domain for it. What happened man? Did you change your mind about the website or were you unsuccessful? Either way, it sounded like a cool website that I wanted to check out to see what has become of it since this question but apparently you didn't make the website.

    Oh well, at least it was a cool idea. If you had made it, I would have totally visited your site because I'm a metalhead myself and I also like 80's metal. Any kind of metal for that matter.

    Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. It's been done before, but I've only seen 1 or 2 sites that actually impressed me. You should name it something that is appropriate and easy to remember like 80's Metal Paradise. I would have short bios and great pictures of each band, and definitely include a lot of forgotten bands along with the well known ones. I know tons and tons of 80's hair bands, so e-mail me if you want a list.

    Hi Riki,

    Most of the others covered all the bases. I'm a big fan of early 80s Maiden, the two Sabb albums with Dio, and (back then) I really liked the first three Priest albums with Dave Holland as drummer (British Steel, Point of Enrty, Screaming for Vengeance). I'll email you some other ideas when they come to mind (plus, a friend of mine is very savvy about web sites & marketing & etc. and how you can draw more attention to your site - I may offer up some suggestions here & there).

    I think it's a great idea, and I'd love to see you run with it.

    I like when sites include things like best singers,drummers,guitarists,albums,songs but it would be cool if registered users were able to vote for them.Forums would be cool.

    It would also be cool if everday a new song was played at the home page. Also Id like a band of the week where a band is picked and theyr Bio is written.

    Plus pictures of guitars

    Also You should have an underrated band of the month where a 80s metal band that wasnt given much attention to is focused on

    Id like to help

    Edit-It would be cool.

    I just think it should have the variety of Metal from 80s

    Maiden to Poison. The Thrash Metal that came out. The classics and Hair Bands as well. So every Metalhead is happy.

    HAIR METAL

    Alot of great guitarists came out of the 80's, Slash, Batio, etc.

    Early thrash & The Big 4 (Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth)

    Metallica and Guns N Roses, two of the greatest things to come out of the 80's
